Toilet Repair & Installation
Running toilets, leaking seals, new installs. Fast fix, fair price.
Running Toilets Waste Thousands.
The toilet is running again. You jiggle the handle like you've been doing for weeks. It stops for a minute, then starts again. That constant running sound isn't just annoying. It's flushing money down the drain. Literally. A running toilet wastes 200 gallons a day — and the fix is usually quick and affordable. Or maybe your toilet rocks when you sit on it. That movement breaks the wax seal underneath, and now there's sewer gas leaking into your bathroom. You might not smell it yet, but the seal is compromised and dirty water is seeping onto your subfloor every time you flush. Cole's Plumbing fixes and replaces toilets every single day. After 25 years, there isn't a toilet problem we haven't seen. Most repairs take 30 minutes. A full replacement takes about an hour. We carry the most common parts on our trucks and we handle everything from running toilets to complete bathroom upgrades.
Warning Signs
Any of these sound familiar? Call us. Small problems don’t stay small.
- Toilet runs constantly or cycles on and off
- Toilet rocks or wobbles on the floor
- Water pooling at the base after flushing
- Weak flush that doesn't clear the bowl
- Cracks visible in the porcelain tank or bowl
- Toilet clogs frequently even with normal use
- You have to hold the handle down to get a full flush
How It Works
Toilet problems usually have simple fixes. Here's what we do.
Diagnose the actual issue
Running toilet? Could be the flapper, fill valve, or overflow tube. Wobbling? Probably the flange or wax ring. Weak flush? Could be mineral buildup in the rim jets or a venting issue. We figure out which one. The service call covers this.
Fix it or recommend replacement
Most toilet repairs are quick and affordable. If your toilet is old, cracked, or the repair cost approaches the price of a new unit, a replacement is the smarter move. We install quality Toto and American Standard units.
Test and verify
We flush multiple times, check for leaks at every connection, verify the fill level, and make sure the toilet doesn't rock. We're thorough because a toilet that leaks at the base causes subfloor damage you won't see until it's serious.
Why Cole's
Common Parts Stocked
Flappers, fill valves, wax rings, supply lines, and flanges. We carry them all. Most toilet repairs are done in one visit, no waiting for parts.
Wax Ring Done Right
We don't stack two wax rings or use the cheap foam ones. We use a proper wax ring matched to your flange height. One seal, done correctly, lasts 20+ years.
Old Toilet Disposal
When we install a new toilet, we haul away the old one. You don't have to figure out how to get a 60-pound porcelain fixture to the curb.
200+ Five-Star Reviews.
Chad came out the same day we called. He looked at our water heater, told us exactly what was wrong, gave us a price, and got it done that afternoon. No surprises on the bill. We've used other plumbers in the area and this was by far the best experience.
The last plumber we called tried to sell us a whole new system when all we needed was a valve replacement. Chad was honest about what the actual problem was and fixed it for a fraction of what the other company quoted. That's rare.
We had a slab leak and were panicking. Chad walked us through the whole process, explained what he was doing at every step, and his price was fair. He even followed up the next week to make sure everything was holding. This is the only plumber we'll call from now on.
Straight Answers.
Three likely causes. The flapper is worn and not sealing properly. The fill valve is faulty and not shutting off. Or the overflow tube is cracked and water is constantly draining into the bowl. All are quick, affordable repairs — we'll diagnose and quote before touching anything.
We quote every toilet installation before starting. Price depends on the toilet you choose and whether any flange or subfloor work is needed. All prices include installation, wax ring, supply line, and disposal of the old unit.
Yes. A wobbling toilet means the wax seal is broken or the flange is loose. Every time it moves, dirty water can seep under the toilet onto your subfloor. Over months, this causes wood rot you won't notice until the floor feels soft. Fix it now while it's a minor repair, not a major floor replacement.
If you're plunging more than once a month, something is wrong. Common causes: low-flow toilet from the 1990s with a weak flush design, partially blocked drain line, or a main sewer issue. If it's just the toilet, upgrading to a modern Toto or American Standard with a 1,000-gram flush rating solves it permanently.
Yes. We install standalone bidets and bidet seats like Toto Washlet. Bidet seats just need a nearby electrical outlet. If you don't have one, we can coordinate with an electrician. The plumbing side takes about an hour.
